Hoofd van een vrouw 1923

Jean Émile Laboureur's 1923 etching, "Hoofd van een vrouw" (Head of a Woman), is a striking example of the artist's unique style. The print, measuring 159 mm in height and 142 mm in width, showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subject in simplified, yet expressive lines. The woman's face is depicted in close-up, her features rendered with subtle detail. Her gaze, with eyes closed, adds a contemplative quality to the portrait, hinting at inner thoughts and emotions. The background, featuring a glimpse of a cityscape, further emphasizes the woman's isolation and introspection.
